the peace of Ierusalem the very same fatall time by their desperate insurrection among you aboue all other shires and places doe you I say as sonnes likewise of the resurrection vnto whom the Lord said in your blood line you sawe the enemie but felt no harme their letter prophesied safetie in the Country but against their wils doe you therefore blesse this great God that blesseth you the more

and celestiall creatures that excell in strength whereas we are weake you that fulfill his commaundements and hearken perfectly vnto the voyce of his words whereas we vpon earth are all short you that pitched your tents about the parliament house and all our tabernacles that looked so faithfully and louingly to your charge so that no foote did stumble at any stone blesse you this Lord forvs and with vs in all your heauenly queers praise him and magnifie him for euer O All you people of the word Iewes and Christians Turks and Infidels ciuill and Barbarians Indians and Cannibals friends and enemies whatsoeuer consider I pray you in all your Countries generations whether any like horrible vnnaturall and execrable thing euer were where neither the dread of the God of life nor duty to a sacred King nor the tendernes of a gracious Queene nor the sweetnes and golden hope of a young Prince nor authority of Counsailers of estate nor reuerence of prelates nor honour of nobility nor grauity of Iudges nor respect of the flower of their owne Countrie nor consideration of the face of the aged nor any hope of the young ones nor pittie of the innocent nor compassion to the harmlesse multitude nor loue to their owne affectionate in the same religion nor bowels of nature to their owne Country nor rule of scripture to thinke of heauens Country nor relenting of conscience in

and massacre that euer Sathan hatched from the beginning of the world frō the shedding of the blood of Abel the righteous at which we that scaped admire and adore him that saued vs they that heare it are amazed astonished and can scarcely beleeue that any such thing was but that it is apparant as the sunne in the firmaments which all nations doe now ring of and is readie for euery Chronicle as the new manuell of the world both in attempt and deliuerance to shewe the odiousnes of bloudie and woluish Rome and the soueraignty and fatherly loue of God to mankinde and especially to the English

till God reueale further vnto them which moderation time hath bred in many is not profiting in wisedome and iudgement a part of our growing to the ripe age and stature of Iesus Christ that wherunto we are come wee may proceede by one rule euen to minde one thing which is necessarie Doe you stand in the gap in your pastorall sage wisedomes and zeale to turne away the Lords wrath which yet is not ceased blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye Nobles and Peeres of the Realme the pillers of our estate and flowers of the Kings Coronet Behold now the day of the Lord of Hostes was to bee vpon euery thing that was exalted vpon all the Cedars of Lebanon vpon all the Oakes of Bashan and vpon all the high mountaines and vpon all the hills that are lifted vp vpō euery high towne euery strong wall euen vpon all the strong men that are about the bed of Salomon all the valiant of Israel who handle the sword and are expert in warre and vpon euery one that hath his sword vpon his thigh for any feare these euen your selues the cruell instruments of Nabuchadnazzer of Rome would haue consumed as the three renowned rulers of the Prouinces Sidrach Misach and Abednego in one fierie Ouen heated to the seauenth degree in your habites roabes coates and shooes as they were as the Scripture noteth and yet the Infidel galles vnder Brennus reuerenced the faces and vestures of the Fathers of the Senate in the capitoll of heathen Rome Beholde the Lords great deliuerance ouer you his holy Angels among you so that no smell of fire vpon your garments nor a haire of your heads singed doe you therefore and your posteritie and all your retinue Blesse the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O You graue Iudges and Fathers of the Law and Sages of the Land whose doome was so neare without all course of iudgement and triall of Law which you afford to the meanest creature and most grieuous offender doe you put on Iustice as a roabe Let equity be a couering as a Crowne breake the power of the oppressour and let the innocent goe free that Iustice may not be as Wormewood nor iudgement as gall but truth may runne down as a mighty streame euery where Doe you blesse the Lord the chiefe Iudge of the world who hath deliuered you from so great sodaine a iudgment Blesse him I say in all your Courts in all your benches proceedings Assises and Sessions praise him and magnifie him for euer O You the learned and prudent Maisters of the Lawe and Chauncerie the Secretaries and Clarkes of estate attendants in this honourable place by your offices who were to bee in the same net of destruction now that your soule is escaped as a bird the net broken the fowlers taken and your soule deliuered Doe you tremble and serue this great God and King and your Country with all good care sound conscience as before the Court of conscience in heauen in greater degrees for if his wrath had beene kindled a little what could great and high place presence do good behold the thunder smiteth the tallest tops Doe you therefore feare this great GOD breake out into voyces and vowes of laud and thanksgiuing blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O You worthie Knights and Burgesses who represent the bodies of the seuerall Countries Shires of our Nation and were to be a short raunsome for a small Interim with your bodies for the bodies of the Countries who looked when their turne came to be deuoured also Bee you faithfull betweene them who commit their welfare vnto you and this God who though he be a consuming fire and your house was as a burnt sacrifice soking vpon the fire almost to the last night yet hee hath not burnt it nor touched our estate as brittle and combustible as the fierie bush in the Desart but gloriously shewed himselfe in the midst of you for your safetie as in the vision to Moses Wherefore put off your shooes as hee did lay aside all earthly treadings awry in loue of your selues your owne pelfe goe not with a splay foote to the Gospell of peace and if indeede you seeke the Lord with all your hearts in the propagation of the Gospell by a preaching Ministerie thorough the Land as I am perswaded very many doe then sticke not some of you to returne the impropriations in your owne power backe againe to the Church as some honourably haue done heretofore and others offered to doe the like in your very owne house of Parliament and some with their money hath purchased some of thē to the Church and were they not the auncient patrimonie of Christ Did not Queene Mary in her darke dayes and wayes giue example and by act of Parliament make restitution of the appropriations annexed to the Crowne It well becommeth the zealous this day some to stand forth as Zaccheus after so long detinue Seeing this day saluation is come vnto their whole and particular houses and they become the sonnes of Abraham all of them as Isaac saued from the knife by an angelicall hand to deliuer possession of the Lords inheritances some to offer liberally as Araunah the Iebusite did like a King as is recorded to the shame of Christians Some as Nehemiah to depart from their owne for some time to redeeme the Churches portion back again as he his seruants did forbeare the purchasing of lands for themselues to supply publique wants Others not sticke to abolish diminutiue rates and vnequall disproportionate compositions whereof peraduenture many haue stollen vpon the Church and to reduce the tythes to their primitiue vncorrupt kind or among you to take some effectuall way in the varietie of your high and exercised wisedomes for a liberal maintenance of a preaching Ministery without which the discourses of it are cloudes and claps of thunder without the sweete dewes and drops of early and later raine and indeede a rich sacrifice of those sorts vpon this returne of you all from the gulfe of such a death would be an vndeniable constat of your zeale and pietie to all posterities and an acceptable performance of a holy vow to him who hath spared you all taken nothing frō you And so in the name of God go on with all your courage zeale obedience and fidelitie to GOD and man blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye eloquent and skilfull Sergeants and Counsailours at the Lawe the Professours and exercents in this facultie pleaders and agents and all the men of Lawe whosoeuer in these adiacent Courts together with all the Scribes Notaries and Protonotaries Atturnies and all other appendants and dependants in so great a Muster in your rankes and Companies that plaine and quiet men meruaile
